Top Vancouver Plumber Says up to 40% of Restaurant Grease Traps Not Compliant
Aug 24, 2016
Grease interceptors, more commonly known as grease traps are not meeting sewer overflow requirements established October 26, 2012 by Metro Vancouver. This includes North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, Surrey, Delta, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.
Vancouver, BC, Canada - August 24, 2016 /PressCable/ —
As of October 2012, approximately 40% of local restaurant owners, (out of those recently visited by an inspector) have been issued an order to upgrade their grease interceptors to meet a new by-law implemented by Metro Vancouver, in October of 2012.

Quote from Metro Vancouver Website:
“On October 26, 2012 we implemented a bylaw that established new maintenance requirements and limits on the amount of grease and solids that can flow out of grease interceptors and into sewers. Establishments that are not in compliance with those requirements may be subject to re-inspection fees and/or a fine.”
Pioneer Plumbing & Heating Inc of Vancouver BC, has been kept busy since then, installing new grease interceptors for restaurant owners who failed to meet the city by-law.

After speaking to a metro by-law officer it was revealed that only a small percentage of the local restaurants in the affected region have been inspected since the new by-law came into effect. Ongoing inspections continue to reveal that approximately 40% of local restaurants are not compliant with the new regulations. Restaurant managers looking to avoid re-inspection fees may want to measure the flow rates their grease trap is capable of to ensure they meet the 2012 requirements.
Curtis Butchart, when asked about their grease trap service stated: “We’ve installed numerous grease interceptors by word-of-mount recommendation. Most of those jobs were ordered because of a failed inspection, so we decided to announce this problem in a press release to shed more light on the issue and help restaurant owners get up to code before their next inspection, thereby avoiding the re-inspection fee.”
Regardless of why any grease interceptors are still below code requirements does not change the fact that Metro Vancouver inspectors are scheduled to visit each restaurant sometime in the near future. Considering the inevitable, they suggest hiring a service capable of rectifying the situation and avoid the fines.
